In this\nblog post, learn more about Linda\u2019s journey in dentistry and how she has helped\nour practice become what it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fun Journey from the Beginning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When she first started with Dr. Grobani\u2019s practice 50 years\nago, Linda worked as a part-time dental assistant while she was still in high school.\nShe eventually transitioned to full time and continued in this position until\n1985, when Dr. A. Gary Goodman took over. At that point, she switched gears, transitioning\nto the administrative side of the practice. In fact, she recalls the days of\nhandwritten insurance claims and patient forms, getting the first computer for\nthe dental office, and having to input all the hardcopy information onto the\ncomputer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, as Dr. Goodman decided to separate and start his own\npractice, Linda gladly joined him. She says, \u201cI love the way Dr. Goodman\nhandles patients. His sincere commitment comes through.\u201d She adds, \u201cBesides\nprobably being one of the best dentists in the area, he is so generous to those\nin need. I couldn\u2019t have worked for anyone for this long if I weren\u2019t proud to\nbe a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commitment to Excellent Service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever talked to Linda, or anyone from Goodman\nDental Care for that matter, you likely familiar with the effort and care taken\nto make sure that everyone feels welcome as soon as they walk through the front\ndoor. Although Linda doesn\u2019t particularly enjoy having to talk to patients\nabout payments and money, she has learned that everyone just wants to be\ntreated with dignity and respect\u2014just like she would want to be treated. At\nGoodman Dental Care, you won\u2019t find inattentive staff members who are abrupt or\ndiscourteous but rather inviting, friendly people who genuinely care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adventure and Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Away from the office, Linda loves to spend time with her animals\u2014she and her husband have two dogs, two cats, and a parrot. But more than anything, she enjoys planning and taking trips. She has dragged her husband around the world and visited many exciting places, such as New Zealand, Hawaii, and Paris, France. For the coming year, she is planning a cruise in January and a visit to Glacier National Park in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Goodman Dental Care, we are privileged to have Linda as an\nintegral part of our team, and we hope to continue learning from her example\nand making our practice such a fun, comfortable place to visit for our patients.\nCongratulations on 50 years, Linda!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These days, it is rather uncommon to find someone who has worked at the same company for more than a couple of years.
